There is not much change to note in the
salt fish market except that further ad-
vance has been established on mackerel,
which continue in light supply. Vessels
from the bay and shore fisheries are arriving
with small fares and the catch continues to
foot up less than last year at this time.
though arrivals for the week show a small
gain. Total catch by the New England fleet
to date, as reported by the Boston Fish Bu-
reau. is 81 ,O59 barrels against 37,l27 barrels
for the same time last year, 2Os, $50 barrels in
1885, 2o2.5S4 barrels in 1883. and S7.o54 bar
rels in 1888 No school of mackerel have
been seen on the Maine coast or in the Bay
Of Fundy. Vessels operating south of Cape
Cod are catching some large mackerel, but
no large schools have been reported this
week. Unfayorable reports continue to be
received from the North Bay, and most of
the American seiners are on their way home.

quantities were seen for a few davs on the

American vessel on the spot could MT do
anything, as the fish were all inside the

ASSOCIATED BALL PLAYERS.
Combining to Secure Better Con-
tracts In the Business.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Every league club
was represented at the first meeting of the
Base Ball Players Brotherhood at Earle's
Pfeffer of Chicago, Irwin of Philadelphia,
Carroll of Washington, Hackett Of Indiana
polls, Hanlon of Detroit, Ward and Keefe of
New York, and Dalrimple of Pittsburg.
Hackett also represented the Boston club.
Ward presided. The meeting was called to
consider the matter of arranging new con-
tract between the players and the National
League. A committee was first appointed to
draft resolution of coincidence with the
family of the late AL. McKinnon, of the
Pittsburgs, and to have the same suitably
engrossed and presented to them. The
matter OF contracts was fully discussed and
1t was the sense of the convention that
new form OF contract is necessary. With re-
gard to the reserve rule" most of the dele
gates thought 1t should stand, with few
minor changes. The question of buying and
selling was discussed, and it was agreed
truct, providing that in all cases of release
the release be unconditional. In case of the
disbandment of club, the players ought to
be released from all obligations.
The brotherhood resolved to assist the
League in breaking up dissipation among
players, and suggested as means to that
end, that every member be fined for the first
offense $25, for the second, $50 and for the
third, $l00. If the offending members COM
mitted fourth offense in the season, they
should be suspended and become liable to be
black listed. Messrs. Hanlon, Irwin and
Ward were appointed committee by the
convention to carry out the views of the
Brotherhood, with regard to new contract.
The committee will ask the league to meet
them in fair way and agree upon new con-
tracts. Mr.. Ward stated afterward that he
had no fear but that the league would meet
the committee from the Brotherhood.

THE MARY z. DOUGLASS.
Full Particulars Of the Loss Of a
Maine Vessel.

The PRESS Saturday morning had brief
telegraphic despatch of the loss Of the Mary
E. Douglass. Capt. Perkins relates the fol-
lowing story of the wreck:
up to Aug. 18th the weather had been un-
usually pleasant, with fresh and favorable
breezes. The schooner was then in lat. 26o
26', long. 10 49,, about five miles east of the
Carolina coast The storm came on from
the northeast, with stiff gale, that increas-
ed rapidly to hurricane, throwing the YES
sci on her beam ends, the waves making a
clean break over her. The huge waves
broke into the cabin windows and threatened
to swamp the schooner / ordered the main
mast to be cut away, and in clearing away
the wreckage ). L. Sundberg, sailor, was
caught, carried overheard and lost The
pumps showed six feet of water in the hold,
and the entire crew was set at work to pump
out the vessel. ! taking my turn with the
rest, Mrs. Perkins lending what aid she
could about the schooner. On the following
day the wind was still blowing heavily, and
great wave carried OF the jibboom and the
mlzzenmast. The windlass was broken and
boat and everything movable on the deck
was swept away. The weather moderated
toward evening Of the nth, but the water in
the hold increased in spite OF all efforts to
reduce it, All the 18th the pumps were
worked incessantly, with scarce an interval
for eating, and the men were tired out. On
the 10Th the weather had cleared up, but the
sea was running high, the vessel was drift
ing, and an attempt was made to rig up jury
sails and make port, but ON the Goth sec
ond hurricane struck the schooner. The
men were exhausted, but they held on with
despair until the morning of the 22d, when
the lights OF the Pomona were seen about
a. m, and rockets were displayed to attract
attention. The steamer lay alongside the
schooner until daylight, being unable to ap-
proach her as she pitched badly. AS soon as
It was light the exhausted crew was taken
from the vessel. The Douglass was an utter
wreck. We lost everything, and all were
more or less bruised by eur rough work in
the storm. Capt. Legoe, of the Pomona,
furnished us with food and dry clothing, and
we have nearly recovered"
The Mary Z. Douglass was built in Booth
bay, Me-, in 1873, for S. G.. Hedgdon, and
registered 146 tons.

HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 2S.-The steam
yacht Mohican, owned by the Messrs.
Clark, the famous cotton thread manufac
turers, arrived tonight, II days from the
Clyde, enroute for New York to witness the
race between the Thistle and the Volunteer,
the Clarks being the principal owners of the
Thistle. Captain Timpson reports having
experienced the heaviest weather he ever
met with this time of the year. The sea was
mountains high. On Monday and Friday last
he experienced hurricanes IN which the Mo-
hican's port bullwarks were stove. Yester-
day morning when 300 Omiles east of Halifax,
he fell in with the st. John ship Lillian, of
1900 tons Captain Whitman, bound from
Rotterdam to New York, with empty oil
packages, with crew OF IL men, besides the
captains wife aud stewardess. The Lillian
was a total wreck having been dismasted in
the hurricane Of the day previous. A terri
BILE sea prevailed at the time and five hours
were occupied in rescuing the hopeless and
helpless men of the ship. Her boats had all
been smashed and broken. The boats were
launched from the yacht and rowed to the
wreck, but could not lay alongside. The
iilian's crew had to jump from the wreck
into the sea and were then dragged into the
boat When the boats returned to the
yacht they again had to jump into the sea
and to grasp life buoys thrown them from
the yacht, the sea being too high to permit
the life boats to go near the vessel.
Capt. Thompson says it was the hardest
sight he ever witnessed to see the women
jumping from the wreck into the sea. The
Lifian's crew were saved only by the most
heroic efforts of the Mohicans crew. The
yacht passed several disabled vessels during
the voyage but could not find outitheir names.
One, a Norwegian bark, had all her sails
blown away. The Mohican proceeds to
New York, Wednesday, after coaling
